Your understanding is correct, those images are in violation with our 
website license and should be removed from our website.

> Can he release images in the public domain and still say it is for non-commercial use only? I thought if he release an image to the public domain he don't has that right anymore and I can use it for any purpuse what includes commercial use. 

It looks like didn't understand the terms while uploading. Please point 
who is this author and which are his images so we can take action.

PS: I would not want to go the hard way and say that since he agreed to 
the Public Domain dedication by checking the box when uploading then the 
files *are* Public Domain, I think we should respect his wish.
